Terebratula
Terebratula is a modern genus of brachiopods with a fossil record dating back to the Late Devonian. These brachiopods are stationary epifaunal suspension feeders and have a worldwide distribution.
Suchodus
Suchodus is an extinct genus of metriorhynchid thalattosuchian from the Middle to Late Jurassic period of England and France It measured between in total body length.'''' It was a fully marine reptile that would have fed on other large marine fauna.
Dipsacaster
Dipsacaster is an extinct genus of sea stars in the family Astropectinidae. It was described by Alcock in 1893, and is known from France and Morocco. It contains the species D. jadeti and D. africanus.
Discinisca
Discinisca is a genus of brachiopods with fossils dating back from the Early Devonian to the Pliocene of Africa, Europe, North America, and New Zealand.
Saccocoma
Saccocoma is an extinct genus of crinoids that lived from the Late Jurassic to the Early Cretaceous in Europe and North America. It contains at least two species.
Ponerosteus
Ponerosteus is a dubious genus of extinct archosauromorph from the Late Cretaceous (Cenomanian-aged) Korycanar Formation of the Czech Republic that was initially identified as a species of the dinosaur Iguanodon.
Helmetia
Helmetia is an extinct genus of arthropods from the middle Cambrian (Wuliuan). Fossils of the type species Helmetia expansa have been found in the Burgess Shale of Canada. It is characterized by a pair of spines in front of its head. It is classified under Conciliterga, a group of trilobitomorph artiopod.
Ktenoura
Ktenoura is a genus of trilobites from the Silurian of Europe.
Tylocidaris
Tylocidaris is an extinct genus of sea urchins that lived from the Early Cretaceous to the Eocene. Its remains have been found in Europe and North America.
Geocoma
Geocoma is an extinct genus of brittle stars that lived in the Jurassic. Its fossils are known from Europe.
Scenella
Scenella is an extinct genus of fossil invertebrate animal which is generally considered to be a mollusc; at various times it has been suggested that this genus belongs with the gastropods, the monoplacophorans, or the helcionellids, although no firm association with any of these classes has been established. An affinity with the hydrozoa (as a flotation device) has been considered, although some authors oppose this hypothesis. A gastropod affinity is defended on the basis of six pairs of internal muscle scars, whilst the serially-repeated nature of these scars suggests to other authors a mono
Phymosoma
Phymosoma is an extinct genus of echinoids that lived from the Cretaceous to the Eocene. Its remains have been found in Asia, Europe, and North America.

Plegiocidaris
Plegiocidaris is an extinct genus of echinoids that lived from the Triassic to the Early Cretaceous. Its remains have been found in Asia and Europe.
It was named by the paleontologist Auguste Pomel.
Triceromeryx
Triceromeryx is an extinct genus of Artiodactyla, of the family Palaeomerycidae, endemic to Europe from the middle Miocene epoch, 16.9—16.0 Ma, existing for approximately .
